Chapter 555: The True Identity of Mr. Tacitus, the Sharpshooter
At this time, Navia looked carefully at the clothes that Qianzhi was mending.
After looking at it for a while, she suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Wow, why does this dress look so familiar?"
Chizhi did not stop the needlework in her hands. She answered while skillfully sewing up the tear in the clothes.
"Isn't it the big order I told you about at the beginning? Do you remember? At that time, I asked you to help me find some manpower."
After Qianzhi's reminder, Navia suddenly realized and nodded in response.
"I remember now! I remember that because you put most of your energy into this dress, some bored people pointed fingers at you, saying that you only cared about making money and ignored ordinary customers."
Hearing this, Qianzhi sighed softly and said slowly: "Alas, these are just some inferior business competition methods... But it doesn't matter, I just need to do my part and don't worry too much about other things."
After that, she continued to focus on the task at hand.
At this moment, Shao Yun coughed twice softly in his throat.
This familiar voice made Qianzhi stop what she was doing suddenly.
Because this voice is so familiar to Qianzhi, the unique sound quality and tone have long been deeply imprinted in her memory.
Then, Qianzhi, who was originally immersed in work, slowly raised her face, and looked at Shao Yun standing at the door with a slightly awkward look. Her lips trembled slightly, and she stammered, "Wow... Oh, you... hello..."
When Shao Yun saw Qian Zhi like this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he responded politely: "Ah, hello."
Navia on the side was no fool. She noticed the subtle change in the atmosphere between Shao Yun and Qian Zhi.
A glance and a greeting made Navia guess who the so-called misunderstood customer that Qianzhi had just mentioned was.
"Wow, it seems that Qianzhi is the one who misunderstood..." Navia said as she glanced at Shao Yun vaguely, with a half-smile on her lips.
Shao Yun naturally understood what Navia meant, and he took over the conversation calmly.
"Yeah, it's me... But luckily the misunderstanding has been cleared up, right?"
After hearing this, Navia's eyes turned flexibly, and then she stretched out her hand and gestured a few times casually to ease the slightly tense atmosphere at the moment, and smiled and said: "Aha, what a coincidence! It turns out that you two have known each other for a long time..."
After saying that, she didn't give others time to react. She decisively turned to face Shao Yun and his group and greeted them warmly, "Let's go, let's not disturb Qianzhi's work here."
"Let's go to the parasol seat next to the store and chat."
After saying that, Navia walked out the door first, and Shao Yun and others followed her and left the room.
After seeing Shao Yun and his group leave, Qian Zhi took a deep breath and then quickened her movements.
However, even though Chizhi tried her best to improve efficiency, due to the large workload, it still took her a long time to complete the task.
In the evening, Qianzhi finally stopped her busy hands and finally finished the work!
……
On the other hand, the waiting time always seemed a bit long and boring, so Navia took the initiative to suggest taking Shao Yun and others out for a walk to kill this difficult free time.
Everyone readily agreed, and followed Navia to wander around the streets and alleys of Fontaine...
Before I knew it, an afternoon had passed.
When the afterglow of the setting sun fell on Fontaine, Shao Yun and his party returned to Qianzhi House.
Navia was already feeling a little tired at this time. She slowly walked to her seat, sat down, and then stretched out her arms comfortably.
Then, Navia yawned loudly and said lazily, "Hey, after the trial is over tomorrow, I will take you to Baisong Town to play."
Hearing this, Paimon responded with a look of joy on his face: "That's great! Thank you so much!"
Just then, Chizhi, who had just finished the work at hand, walked out of the store with a smile.
She walked straight to Ying and asked softly, "The clothes have been repaired. Do you want to try them on now to see if they fit you?"
Ying nodded and replied, "Of course! I'll try it right away."
Immediately afterwards, Ying followed Qianzhi closely and walked into Qianzhi's house together, preparing to try on the repaired "Gunner Girl Suit".
……
After a while, Ying walked out of the store.
At this moment, she has already put on the eye-catching "Gunner Girl Suit". This repaired outfit still perfectly outlines the curves of Yingna's young figure.
At this moment, Ying's eyes first fell on the pair of black leather (cavalry) gloves, and then she carefully looked at the clothes on her body.
"Wow, this is amazing! I can't even see any signs of damage. It looks exactly like new!"
At this time, Qianzhi also came over. She walked around Ying with interest, then nodded with satisfaction.
"Yeah, it's really good."
"But it's a bit strange to say this. I remember that when this suit was made, some special materials imported from Nata were specially added to make it cut-resistant."
"But just now when I was mending them, I found that these clothes were covered with cuts from the knife."
As soon as Qian Zhi finished speaking, Shao Yun at the side couldn't help but tease: "Haha, wow, Jade is really ruthless!"
Hearing this, Ying couldn't help but put her hands on her waist, a helpless look on her face, and responded with a wry smile: "Alas, there is nothing I can do. It's all Babel's fault."
"But thanks to you for teaching me how to shoot, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to subdue Jade so easily."
At this moment, Navia's eyes suddenly lit up as she was listening in. She became very interested in what Ying said and asked impatiently, "Wait, you mentioned the word 'gunmanship' just now? Does that mean... you all know how to use a rifle?"
Ying responded honestly: "Gun rifle? Hmm... I think I can..."
When Navia heard this, her curiosity was instantly ignited, and she couldn't wait to ask: "Can you lend me your gun? I'm a little curious!"
As she spoke, her beautiful eyes stared at Ying expectantly.
Seeing this, Ying reached out and pulled out the silver revolver of the little devil Carloway from the holster on his waist and handed it to Navia.
Navia took the pistol and looked at it carefully.
I saw the silver revolver flashing brightly under the setting sun, and its delicate patterns and silver surface showed its extraordinary qualities.
However, the more Navia looked at it, the more confused she felt. She raised her head and said to Ying with a suspicious look on her face: "This gunpowder looks so strange... It's not the same as the ordinary Fontaine gunpowder."
At this time, Ying turned her head and looked at Shao Yun beside her, and patiently explained to Navia: "This is a gift from Shao Yun, and Shao Yun also taught me how to use it and the shooting techniques."
At this moment, Navia seemed to suddenly remember something important. Her eyes widened suddenly and she looked straight at Shao Yun who was sitting opposite her.
"Wait! When I was reading the Steambird this morning, it mentioned that a sharpshooter named Tacitus defeated Clorinde in a duel yesterday! Could that person... be you?"
Shao Yun was originally smiling, but when he heard Navia's words, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural.
He glanced at Ying beside him with a bit of embarrassment, sighed helplessly, smiled bitterly and said: "See? This is why I had to give myself a fake name, otherwise it would be difficult for us to go out."
Seeing that Shao Yun was really the Tacitus who became famous in one battle, Navia said in surprise: "Wow... But, I heard that the man was wearing a brown jacket and a black hat..."
After saying that, Navia looked at the hat on Shao Yun's head in shock... So that's it...
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun's words further confirmed Navia's guess.
Shao Yun spread his hands, smiled bitterly and said, "Am I forced to wear the same clothes forever?"
After hearing Shao Yun's explanation, Navia was stunned for a moment, and then began to mutter inexplicably.
"No wonder Clorinde acted like that last night..."
Shao Yun noticed Navia's strange mood at the moment and asked, "What's wrong?"
Navia came back to her senses, and hurriedly concealed the emotion she had just revealed, pretending to be calm and replied: "It's nothing, oh, don't think too much!"
"Look at the time. It's almost time for dinner. How about we go to the Debo Hotel together?"
As she spoke, in order to divert Shao Yun's attention as quickly as possible, Navia also called Qianzhi who was standing beside her and Ailufu, a clerk in her store.
"Chizhi, and Ailuofu, let's go together!"
Qianzhi thought, how could this have anything to do with me?
She raised her head, glanced at the sky, frowned and said, "Isn't it too early to set off now?"
Navia quickly stood up from her chair and grabbed Qianzhi and left without saying anything.
"It's not early at all. Let's get going!"
Qianzhi tried to break free from Navia's hand, but found it was of no use.
In desperation, she had to agree, but she still reminded him, "Hey! Don't be so anxious, at least wait until Ai Luofu and I lock the door before you leave!"
